Comment (by bonefish):

 TBH, I'm more inclined to remove the check completely. A case sensitive
 file system being a prerequisite is documented and there are other
 prerequisites we don't check for explicitly either.

 That aside, I don't see why the check needs to be Darwin specific at all.
 Other systems support case insensitive file systems as well (FAT) and a
 case sensitivity check can easily be performed using `touch` and `rm`.
